Lucas718 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm really hoping the oversized helmet logo thing dies out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Same thing is on the other side:Now it's a beautiful helmet, no number!I would like it if it had smaller helmet logos. Those are killing an otherwise good helmet IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfoster Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The white helmet looks too much like Nebraska, but perhaps that is not relevant to Sooner fans anymore.Oklahoma wore white helmets with a red stripe until 1966. They've worn them as throwbacks in 2003 and 2009. Here's a closer look at the helmet, showing a little more detail on the wood grain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clintau24 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 My only issue with USF's matte helmet is that the logos aren't even. One is further up towards the facemask than the other. If they were even I'd like it a lot more. "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were even I'd like it a lot more.Well they are two different helmets, so the logo is probably even with the other logo on both helmets #9 LSU vs. TCU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were even I'd like it a lot more.Well its the same logo on both sides so there is no way they can be even on the front. Kinda hard to make a non-symmetrical logo look the same on both sides.

gdu Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The explanation I heard was bc the Sooner schooner was made of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The explanation I heard was bc the Sooner schooner was made of wood.Which is a huge stretch in my opinion, which is the only thing killing this new modernization. Personally, I like the wood. I think it's aesthetically pleasing and makes for a unique design. However, the lack of historical connection of wood to Oklahoma makes this re-brand kinda goofy. But hey, all traditions have to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, all traditions have to start somewhere. So... if the helmet weighs as much as a duck, it's made of wood, and therefore...That said, it's something invoking the schooner, which is severely underused by the athletic department. I've played with helmet concepts with the entire schooner logo before, and you end up with either an oversized logo or a decent sized one with all the detail lost. The club hockey team does have a crimson and cream (not white) jersey with the schooner for a crest, but the only major sport example at OU I can think of is the wagon wheel of the schooner on the waistband of the men's basketball jerseys.

But it is definitely a stretch.As a lifelong Sooner fan, I've never once heard anyone say anything about "Bringing the Wood." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
